Macuco. iPhone user agent string instead.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

i've been getting this problem on and off, and some of my non-n900 friends have been saying the same thing. i think the problem is on facebooks side because quige often it shows up as if the comment was made perfectly well, but a refresh shows like i never made a comment, or only the first letter of the comment.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Yeh thanks oxpo, been a while since I used it - you're bang on, it is macuco2.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Yes, let's solve the problem by ignoring it.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I agree with festivalnut. This seems to be intermittent for me, I have had it happen but most of the time it works, ive just got to be more patient.

Figured how often facebook changes $h1t around, that it will soon be 'fixed'.

/but no doubt that will break something else

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

i got macuco2,firefox mobile,opera & kasvopus on my N900...
i try them all but microB stand tall from the rest....

on macuco i have to refresh a few to so i can get the latest status update on it...if i dont refresh then what will i see is a status from 6-7 hours ago....
beside i likes full sites view on facebook rather than mobile sites or touch sites....

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

why u suggest me to purge facebook anyway???

i want to use it & resolved my facebook problem not to uninstalled it from my N900....

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

FB now treats the "enter" key as if you had hit the old "comment" button that they've removed. If you want to write a new paragraph use shift-enter.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

i am facing the same problem, where my comments are sent (while infact they are not) specialy when i use the vertual keyboard.

i found away around it, first you need to know that after you hit enter to send your comment you have to wait for two or three seconds then u should get the blue "like" option, if you see it then you comment is sent 100%

To solve the problem , just use ur vertual keyboard to write the msg as usual then slide ur physical keyboard and press " right arrow, left arrow , up arrow , or down arrow couple of times" tell you see you full comment resized, then and only then you can press enter to send the comment and garantee it succesfully has been sent

hope this helps u fb guys

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

the like/unlike trick has worked for me, only done it a few times so wasn't sure if it was coincidence, however sometimes the comment is cut short as soon as you hit enter so not always useful.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

it worked for me 100% of the time
i used to press enter and see my coment posted but without the like button.... after i did the trick i hadnt had any problem

for losing parts of ur comments . i didnt face that problem

why dont you reset MicroB ... i cant help ya with that

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

do u use ukeyboard?

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

i use from virtual keyboard to physical keyboard the same problem...
i have try clear all private data on microB still the same....

comment cut shorts & comment got disappear is really annoying me....

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

i get the comment disappear sometimes, but never had comment cut short

i am sure its facebook problem.. i jever faced a problem with other sites

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

comments cut short happens to me too, but not all the time. i'm gonna try king's like/unlike trick next

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

You understand how apt-get works, right? It deletes packages. Facebook doesn't exist on your N900, it's on servers out on the internet. Nor is facebook a program that your browser depends on. Facebook is first and foremost a website, with no browser plugins or whatever needed.

What's this mean? That the facebook you're being told to get rid of has nothing to do with facebook working for you on your browser.

The N900 comes prepackaged with a basic facebook client. I personally just uninstall it, so I don't know if it has any effect on Facebook use through the browser, but it might have something to do with your problem. Or he may have been suggesting it for some other issue vaguely linked to this thread.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I really recommend this app:

http://kasvopus.substanceofcode.com/

KASVOPUS! :)

And what I really like in the MicroB is that i´m able to use the chat :)
And I don´t face the problems that you are talking :(

*edit

ignore me, I didn't read his post properly.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I am facing the same problem as well, I just go to the touch site on Firefox and it works, but I much rather have it work in MicroB. This problem has occured in the past, but after a few days it seems to get straightened out so I would say from past experience, it is probably on FB's side of things.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I type my comment, click some "Dead" part of the page (outside the textbox), wait a few seconds, then submit... seems to work. I'm sure it's some facebook ajax madness.

But as newer browsers have been released, since MicroB is based on older gecko core, we'll surely see more incompatibilities popping up in the future.

I have old Seamonkey 1.1x installed on an old PC, which is same browser codebase as Firefox2 basically, and it's amazing how many sites won't work properly anymore in that browser.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

i use to thinks this problem is cause by the facebook it self but after i monitor it & using all apps that can be use i admit only while using facebook on microB i have this problem...
opera - no comment cut short or dissappearing comment...
firefox mobile - same result as opera...
kasvopus - my comment will jump on other friends comment...
macuco2 - have to refresh a few time just to see the latest update...
pc apps such as IE,chrome,firefox - no problem...

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

You know you can use the chat by adding a jabber/XMPP account to the N900's IM accounts, don't you? It's far nicer than using the web interface.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I installed this app at your recommendation. It isn't very good to be honest. It's very hit and miss; thinks that posts I made today were yesterday, get all the posts jumbled up in the wrong order, shutdown by itself for no reason a couple of times, takes a long time to load pages.

Not very good at all.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Cheers for that tip bro. On it now. It just imported all my friends list into my contacts. i never knew this phone could do this tbh.

.....what a difference, Blockbuster Video.

Repeat after me Nuk Nuk:

Wow, what a difference. Blockbuster Video.

And repeat.........

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I can troll with the best of them mate but this is lame.

On the ignore list you go. Laters.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

perhaps they're completely useful posts, but on twist of facebooks bug TMO has removed all the coherent parts from nuknuks comments?

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Np. The merge contacts plugin for contacts comes in quite handy once you add your fb IM account. Even more so when you add in your other IM accounts as well!

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Im experiencing this again tonight and I think I've found a way around it.

I just enter a new line before posting what ive wrote - i.e. finish writing
>> shift + enter >> enter. That seems to work for me,

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I don't have any problems with commenting on Facebook since I'm so used to selecting all, copy and pasting. What I do have a problem with is viewing photos.

Facebook has changed their site once again, and now it's more difficult to view photos and the comments of those photos. When you click on a photo, it pops up a big black background with the photo floating over the news feed, but when you try to scroll down it [the MicroB] thinks you're scrolling through the news feed instead, so the photo viewing disappears and reappears in the process. The picture is sometimes too big and I can't scroll to the comment section of that picture. Even the zoom in/zoom out doesn't work that well. It's just really annoying. I was just wonder if there's any round-abouts to this.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I donno about FB as I don't use that. But one of my hardware stores has a similar annoying pic viewer now. There microB's hover mode helps. Have you tried that?

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

when you see the new notification for the comments, just click the red icon to see list of new notifications, press the "see all notifications" at the bottom, then when the full list loads, touch and hold on the "photo" link and select "open link in new window" do it for all photos...

you might know this already, just wanted to give hints

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Yeah, it is definitely easier to open photos in a new window rather than click on the directly.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I have the truncated comments problem too, and also the issue with photos described above.
I wish Facebook would employ some better developers. They don't seem to be familiar with the "if it aint broke don't fix it" principle. Do they have too much spare time on their hands or something?

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Can you try my suggestion in post #32 above and see if that helps with the truncating issue.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

Yes, I have been trying it and so far it seems to work. Thank you.

Re: Facebook problem using MicroB
 

I know its a not solution for MicroB but try using Fennec with Phony addon.Just change user agent to Desktop Firefox and browse facebook :)
